Io is just a bit larger than our moon. So just imagine being able to see this with the naked eye on a full moon night.

This would be like a volcano on Earth spewing lava so high it would practically hit the ISS on flyover. It’s a mind-bogglingly ridiculous fountain of lava.

Is the ejection of mass in a single direction substantial enough to alter Io’s orbit?
